5 Reasons that Flaws are Beautiful

Make-up extraordinaire and one of fashion’s most beloved names, Lucia Pica, believes that people with personality and imperfections make the most beautiful people in the world. Being a part of the industry since early 2008, Pica is one of the most creative and memorable makeup artists in her domain, always working with edgy and standout-ish looks in shoots, campaigns, and on the runway. Emphasising her mother as one of her greatest influences, she’s known to have stated that ‘seeing things in a simple, uncomplicated way is the best way to see the world – there’s something all dreamy and romantic about literally everything.’

Which is great, because in an industry that’s over-saturated with a need for perfection and pristine clear views with a strewn vision of what’s real, sometimes all it takes is just a reminder that flaws and imperfections are what makes an individual unique – from that scar under the cheek, to freckles to even the gap-tooth – what would be Lara Stone be without her memorable imperfection?

It’s definitely the little things that make everyone beautiful in their own way.

Here are 5 ways that imperfections work together to create perfection:

1. Imperfections create character and personality
2. Imperfections show a sense of courage and strength to be confident
3. Imperfections create diversity in an otherwise mundane world
4. Imperfections become loved and appreciated with age – they bring forth self-acceptance
5. Imperfections change the understanding and perception of beauty as a universal thing
